How to Make Hot Crab Dip in a Slow Cooker
Aunt Lou here.
It was tailgate food night again in our small group. It is always a night of a lot of delicious recipes. I love all the different dips, sandwiches, meatballs, veggies and desserts. Now me? I’m a big fan of dips, and tailgate food night is about the only time I get to whip up a yummy dip. When I found this Hot Crab Dip from Gooseberry Patch’s Slow-Cooker Christmas Favorites, I couldn’t wait to make it.
I love how easy it is to throw this Crock Pot Hot Crab Dip together. You see, I was running short on time. Shocker, I know. But it actually wasn’t my fault this time! Regardless, I needed a recipe that was quick and easy.
Everyone loved this dip and raved about how much it made them want crab legs. The flavor of this dip was amazing! I can’t wait for an excuse to make it again!
Crock Pot Hot Crab Dip Notes
- We used imitation crab, but feel free to use real crab if you would like.
- We love the 3 Pot Buffet Slow Cooker for dips like this, although any 2-3 qt slow cooker should work just fine. If you don’t have a smaller slow cooker, you can always place a heat safe bowl inside of your crock to create a smaller cooking vessel.

- As with any of our recipes, carb counts, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly. As a result, your nutritional content depends on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish. The auto-calculation is just an automated estimate and should NOT be used for specific dietary needs.
- All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline. Recipes should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
